Last week I was grateful for the air conditioning units in my classroom. This week, I am grateful for something warm. Yes, the temperatures have dropped that much – especially in my room! As my space is north facing, no sun comes through the windows during the day and, with the lowering of temperatures outside, the space is not warmed up at all.
Because the heating in the school has not yet been turned on, my students and myself wear our sweaters. And if the children do not have sweaters, they wear their jackets. It is at that time of year when it is warmer to be outside than it is inside. We definitely look forward to when the furnance is turned on.
In the meantime, I warm myself from the inside by drinking tea from my thermos. My bottle of water remains untouched as my body craves something warm to drink. I am wondering whether I should take another thermos of tea to drink instead. Brr!
This week I am grateful for warm tea – and the occasional cup of coffee – to warm me while working in my classroom.

We had a huge temperature drop too, but it will be around 80 F today! Warm tea is good, but I am grateful for warm cats and dogs 😉

I hope your cooler weather finds it’s way to us, Colline. 🙂 I am still thankful for the air conditioning since we’re still using it. I am also thankful that I was able to watch the moon rise last night and set this morning. 🙂

I always head for the tea or coffee when I’m chilled. Nothing warms like a hot drink.

I agree Michelle – and the perfection is added to when you have a good book in hand!

It is amazing how quickly the weather changes. I suppose it is easier once the heating is on.

We have had a couple of warmer days. But, I fear, the cold will be sticking around very soon.
